Review on πŸ’ͺ Ultimate Power-Z KM002C USB-C Tester PD3.1 QC5.0 - Unleash New Potential! by Joseph Mannasseh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First New USB-C Tester EPR

I bought my device in China for $70. As this is a Chinese product and a fairly new product, there is no user manual yet and there is no online support yet. There is no English user manual for this product. Overall this device looks good. Works well as long as you don't mind jumping into a few playgrounds, one of which is to learn how to use this product without a manual. To make things even more difficult, you need to change the language on your device from Chinese to English using the Translate app on your phone. Enjoy. When it comes to detecting PD and other protocols, it is recommended to supply USB-C auxiliary power to the USB-C HID connector next to the male USB-C connector, otherwise the device will fail when trying to perform protocol tests. crashes. and USB-C e-Mark cable for reading. Finally, you should update the firmware when you receive your device as the firmware on it may be in alpha (like I had). The latest version is 1.2.1 (status 02/17/22). Overall, this is a good device for testing all USB-C PD protocols, including the newer USB-C 3.1 EPR, up to 240W. Bonus feature: this device can also read and tell you information about Apple USB-C chargers! If you are a pioneer who loves testing new devices and willing to learn and troubleshoot, this is the device for you. Otherwise, wait a few months for the device to mature in terms of software and operating instructions.

Pros
  • High marks for tester support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
